I take a flexible, client-centered approach to therapy, focusing on immediate concerns while exploring deeper issues at a comfortable pace. Sessions are tailored to individual needs—some clients use the full time for in-depth work, while others prefer a more solution-focused approach, shorter sessions. To support progress between sessions, I provide practical tools, coping strategies, and reflective exercises to reinforce lasting change.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session, you'll find a welcoming and supportive space where we’ll explore what brought you to therapy. I’ll introduce myself, explain what to expect, and ensure you feel comfortable sharing. We’ll discuss your background, goals, and any current challenges, along with relevant personal, family, and medical history to provide context. I’ll outline the evidence-based methods I use, discuss confidentiality, and explore possible therapy directions based on your needs. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, provide feedback, and determine session frequency. Open communication is key, and we’ll set small, manageable goals to begin your journey toward progress.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider, I combine directness, insight, compassion, and humor to create a supportive and engaging therapeutic space. I prioritize open and honest communication, helping clients tackle challenges head-on and set realistic goals. My diverse experiences allow me to offer nuanced, tailored support, identifying patterns and underlying issues to foster deeper self-awareness. By considering each client’s unique life experiences, I provide comprehensive, personalized care that promotes meaningful growth.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
The clients I work best with value a flexible, empathetic, and client-centered approach. They are ready to make meaningful progress, open to exploring deep-seated issues, and committed to personal growth. They seek practical strategies for emotional regulation and relationship dynamics while appreciating the balance between clear guidance and compassionate support. Whether addressing immediate concerns or diving deeper into long-term challenges, they are proactive in applying therapeutic techniques between sessions.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My experience with CBT has shown its profound impact on clients' lives. By transforming negative thoughts, managing trauma triggers, and mastering coping skills, clients significantly improve their mental health. This approach empowers them to regain control and confidence, fostering resilience and long-term well-being. I have witnessed countless clients transform their lives with CBT and am committed to using this method to help more individuals achieve mental health and happiness.
Psychodynamic
Internal conflicts from unresolved issues or conflicting desires can cause significant distress. Through psychodynamic techniques, clients gain insight into their emotions, past experiences, and relationship patterns, empowering them to make meaningful changes. My experience shows that this approach profoundly impacts clients' lives, fostering healthier behaviors and more fulfilling relationships by addressing the root causes of their issues for lasting change.
Attachment-based
I use attachment-based techniques to help clients understand and improve their attachment styles and relationships. We explore early experiences to uncover patterns and unresolved issues affecting current connections. By identifying root causes of difficulties in familial, romantic, or social relationships, we develop strategies to improve them. This includes modifying maladaptive behaviors, enhancing communication, setting boundaries, and building trust. My experience shows that these techniques profoundly impact clients' relationships and emotional well-being, fostering deeper emotional connections and healthier interactions.
Reality Therapy
Unlike some therapies that focus on the past, Reality Therapy concentrates on the present. Together, we identify unproductive behaviors and their impact, allowing clients to take immediate steps toward positive change. The WDEP system is a key framework: - **Wants**: Identify goals and desires. - **Doing**: Assess current actions and their alignment with goals. - **Evaluation**: Determine if current actions are effective. - **Planning**: Develop realistic plans for achieving goals. Using the WDEP system, clients gain clarity and create strategic plans for change. My experience with Reality Therapy has shown its powerful impact on clients' lives by emphasizing personal responsibility, present behavior, and practical solutions. This approach improves relationships, enhances self-worth, and increases overall satisfaction.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps clients manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. It focuses on emotional regulation, equipping clients to tolerate distress without harmful behaviors. DBT teaches effective, assertive, and respectful interpersonal skills. Clients learn to accept their reality while making positive changes.
